GNOME updates many applications in its circle this week

New apps this week in GNOME

Like every weekend, the projects GNOME and KDE have published articles about what's new coming to your desktop. The first does it on Friday nights (in Spain), and his articles are like his philosophy: clear, concise information and only about what is necessary. They usually tell us about what has already arrived or what will arrive very soon, but also about very important things that are a little further on the calendar.

This Friday, of all the news that they mentioned only two are not a new version of an application. the rest are new releases, new versions of applications with new functions. The one that has picked up the pace and seems to want to take center stage is Amberol, the minimalist music player that also looks good in mobile versions.

This week in GNOME

  • The Calendar app now has a new sidebar that contains a date picker and agenda view, replacing the year view and navigation arrows. It is, they say, the first step for the design to be adaptive, but they warn that it is not yet.
  • Warps 0.2.0. Many design improvements, many translations, mobile device support and other fixes have been introduced.
  • Decoder 0.3.0. QR codes are now always black on white for better compatibility, it allows you to see the text that a code contains, and scanned codes are automatically stored in history.
  • amberol 0.8.0. Now lets you search for songs in playlists just by starting to type. Also, it can now run in the background. On the other hand, it can now be used on macOS as well if the Homebrew dependencies are used.
  • Bottles 2022.06.14 has arrived with performance improvements, minor interface tweaks, and now uses GTK4 and libadwaita.
  • Cambalache 0.10.0, with Adwayta, Handy, inline objects, special nested types, among others.
  • GNOME Foundation reminds that Microsoft has awarded them $10.000 for winning their FOSS foundation.

And that's been it for this week at GNOME.
